Interesting. I've found quite the opposite. Academia has thrown away
many of its principles in the effort to chase skills that it thinks
businesses want. That's why they're churning out endless streams of
Java programmers that lack a basic grounding in the underlying subject
and who will be screwed when Java's star fades and they need to switch
to something else.
